Verily, Thou art the Merciful! Thou art the Clement, and there is no God but Thee, the Powerful, the compassionate, and the Ancient! (570:1) Thou seest me rolling my face in the dust of humility and contrition, supplicating toward the Kingdom of thy Might, yearning for the contemplation of Thy greatness, entreating Thy Grandeur, invoking at the Threshold of Thy Mercifulness, beseeching the realm f Thy Singleness, acknowledging my shortcomings, longing for Thy bounty, desiring Thy concealing veil and expecting the outpouring of the rain of Thy favor upon all the meadows and mountains! (570:2) O my Lord! Verily, Thy power hath enveloped all things, Thy dominion, Thy glory and Thy sovereignty have become manifest as the manifestation of the sun in mid-day; Thy Word hath penetrated the reality of the contingent beings; Thy voice hath been raised on e apex of the world; Thy beaming lights have radiated from the dawning-places of all the horizons and thy wonderful refulgent signs have become known in all directions; consequently the sights and insights have become dazzled by beholding these manifestations of truth! There is no land in which the fame of Thy Merciful Cause hath not been spread, and there is no region in which Thy manifest ensign hath not been hoisted! Verily, Thy voice hath reached the ears of all the inhabitants of the globe, and the attracted ones have become exhilarated by its holy and divine fragrances!
(570:3)
